Here some guidelines you should follow, that most people don't. The most common thing people do, is buy a muffler online or a tuner-shop and then walk to an exhaust place and say "put this on with 2 and a 1/2 inch piping from the cat." and expect to get a low tone.
1) Too much width on your piping = Loudness and gurgling. (You ONLY need 2 and 1/4" from cat back). As long as your NA (Natural Aspiration), you don't need oversized exhaust piping. 2) 2 and 1/4" is approx 60MM, most Inlet size on NA Universal Mufflers are 60MM, so don't get a muffler with 90MM Inlet, they are Turbo Universal Mufflers. 3) Have all bends on Custom Piping be Mandrel, if the Exhaust Shop won't do it, find another place. 4) Get a Universal 60MM Inlet/Outlet Resonator (http://www.supremeexhaust.com/PartInfo.aspx?pid=43). 55$, and it'll help the tone be lower. 5) Have them weld your Custom Piping, Resonator and Muffler into the exact same path as your stock exhaust, else your exhaust may be too low and/or clank against something.
If you follow those guidelines, you should be good with tone and performance by not overdoing it. A Greddy SP is pretty much the same exact thing with a different muffler. They are 60MM Piping, 60MM Inlet/Outlet 12' Resonator etc...
